If this means I can deny WhatsApp access to my regular contacts and still have a decent user experience I'm all for it.

The inherent flaw is Qualcomm actually having to properly support one of their chipsets directly to customers for once, something they're apparently really bad at. This box has had some pretty bad press already, mostly due to the software being abysmal.

Picking a lock with just one pick. That's not how it works, you need one to apply a rotating force and another one to lift the individual pins. Sometimes shows even get it right in one season and then totally blow it in the next one.

FS 2020 reportedly already used 2 PB of data as it's base. Good luck downloading that!

Object storage (the S3 API stuff) is the most logical answer here, it's much simpler and thus more reliable than solutions like Gluster, and the abstraction actually matches your use case. Otherwise something like an NFS share from a central fileserver works too.

But I agree with the other comment that you're trying to do kubernetes on hard mode and most likely with a worse result.

The EVE Online of today has very little to do with the game that came out 21 years ago. It's been kept up to date very well, the graphics are really nice and the game has been made a lot better for new players. A new expansion just dropped so now it's actually a pretty good time to try it out.

As for mining in peace: that's totally doable if you know what you're doing. The best advice would be to join a mining/building corporation as soon as possible and have them show you the ropes. The element of risk never goes completely away, and you should always be prepared to lose the ship you are flying, but the risks are very manageable, to the point where you should almost never lose a ship unless you're actively taking more risk.

Absolutely love this game. Played it from beginning to end on the PC multiple times over the decades. The original floppy version that is, not the poncy CD version he's using! 😂

btop has GPU stats in recent versions.

Good on you for getting it fixed. One of the reasons Linux is a great OS in my opinion is that everything is in the file system and not in some arcane hidden thing. So every problem is solvable without a reinstall if you're motivated enough to figure it out.

Firefox has been able to block all third-party / cross-site cookies for ages. It's just not the default because it breaks some sites. But dive into the settings and you can easily set it to block all cross-site cookies, or even all cookies if you prefer.

Most of the delays are effectively from pre-ordering. I ordered mine just after last Christmas, got it the first week in January. Would have probably been faster without the holidays. Also, get the AMD model if you can, it's much better than the Intel offerings.

You should seriously consider a flip phone if pocket size is your main concern. They've become really good by now.
